Gothic?

[Brad]

We went to visit our daughter this weekend. About an hour from where she lives is a house of significance in American art.

It's all about camera angles. And artistic license with the roof pitch.

A.J.Downing?

Cpl of his books around here somewhere.....sounds of shuffling worn slippers barely raised above the well worn oak,intensely looking for a particular title in the dusty library."It's in here somewhere",haha.

A.J. was the "Johnny Appleseed" of things Gothic.

The house is tiny. Very tiny. I was a bit shocked at that.

Nice little museum and shop at the site. Interesting to read that during WW1 Grant Wood served in the army along with other artists. They got put to work camouflaging various items.

did you have to bring your own pitchfork?

 

[Brad]

Nope. They provide everything. They have hay forks, not pitchforks, in a variety of sizes. They have the clothes and all, everything designed to slip over your regular clothes. They ever gen take photos with your camera or phone. All this at no charge.

Now that is pretty cool. Good pic, nice to see your enabler.
